The JVM is often considered a black box in modern enterprise software, hindering performance optimization for Spring Boot apps.
By exploring JVM flags, a developer achieved a 300% performance boost in a Spring Boot microservice without altering business logic.
This performance upgrade was a result of utilizing specific JVM startup flags to enhance latency, throughput, and memory usage in a cloud-native environment.
The focus is on practical application rather than theoretical benchmarks, empowering developers to optimize Java services and manage garbage collection efficiently.
